My interaction with the faculty has been amazing! All the faculty are easy to approach and show genuine interest in helping students reach their goals. They offered good advice and reassurance.

Wonderful. I have never been at an institution where I have felt so respected and cared for. I look up to all of my mentors and am pleased I was able to establish a connection with each of the faculty as they are all amazing contributions to this school in their own unique way.

All the faculty members are very supportive, approachable, and encouraging of our goals. They understand the struggle of applying to medical school and have been willing to accommodate individual needs consistently. I especially appreciate their generosity in accommodating my health circumstances and supporting me to the end. Whether it be for school or just to talk, they had an open door and that was something I really appreciated. They truly cared about my successes and always had my best interest at heart! So, thank you professors!

During my year at the CHS postbacc I was able to develop multiple aspects of my application that allowed me to succeed in medical school. I was a bit of a special case in that I had already taken my MCAT and was satisfied with my score; what I really wanted (and got) from the program was to boost my GPA and add research experience to my CV. My highlight memories include small class sizes in traditionally challenging courses like Ochem that gave me the resources I needed to understand the material; being able to attend near unlimited office hours with Dr. Meyer, Valley, and Wostenberg; and receiving a basis in neuroscience physiology that set me up for our neuro block at CNUCOM. Apart from all the classes, what I enjoyed about the program was the friendly atmosphere: the students had each others backs, and the teachers would even participate in pickup basketball! Finally, the curriculum was flexible enough that I could do a research internship at UCDMC Infectious Disease Department, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Even in house, many of my classmates found opportunities for research. I highly recommend the CHS postbacc program for the aspiring medical student!
